Description
Related to: https://github.com/MobileNativeFoundation/rules_xcodeproj/issues/2937
When using macos_application that has extensions the project generation fails with:
ERROR: Custom scheme "TophatExtension"'s run launch target (@@//Tools/Tophat:TophatExtension darwin_arm64-dbg-macos-arm64-min13.0-applebin_macos-ST-e022ee4a993b) is an app extension and requires `extension_host` to be set
The issue is that macos_extension does not support extension_host property. This issue is to track this working properly (whether that means adding extension_host in rules_apple or making this optional)
Reproduction steps
- Create a
macos_extension - Create a
macos_aplication - Add the extension to
extensionsofmacos_application - Try to generate a project with
macos_applicationas a target
Expected behavior
This should work as expected without generation errors.

Research direction
Start with the reproduction steps and the related rules_xcodeproj issue #2937. Investigate how macos_extension targets are handled when included in a macos_application and how extension_host is expected to be supplied. Done means project generation succeeds for the stated macOS application and extension setup without the missing extension_host error.
